quivering mess-in the style of John Prine

I tried to tell this story before
but I never got far before I fell on the floor
and everyone who cared pretended not to see
the quivering mess that became of me

I opened my mouth to share the pain
and all of my strength ran down the drain
what once was the trunk of a tall oak tree
was the quivering mess that she made of me

la la chorus

no one has ever heard my side
cause I've melted down, every time I've tried
but you've got to believe that there's more to say
and I just may get to say it one day

la la chorus

I can see her now just beyond my window
my legs are getting weak as I see the light glow

I think I can spare you the sad details
and still get my point across between my wails
suffice it to say that you've never seen
a quivering mess like the one she made of me

la la chorus X2
